[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]See, I don't understand why it should be hard for athiests to swallow. If it is shown, using science, that there is some thing called a soul, and it lives after death in a way that has been, until now, mysterious and unmeasurable, that does not prove God. And I'm a believer. It proves only what you can measure and show - that there is something we previously weren't aware of. That is what is so amazing and awe inspiring about science to me - that it gives us tools to continually explore the unknown, and know the unknown. I don't think God operates in ways that are outside of science - in other words, I don't believe in the "supernatural" - things that are outside of natural laws - but I do believe that we don't have the tools to explore maybe 99.999% of the universe yet. Including God.[/quote]

Given that the three major religions all speak of an afterlife and God, and many people having near death experiences say Jesus or God met them, then if we believe in afterlife, it lends credence to the existence of a God also.[/quote]

but people's religious NDE's only include the god that person happens to already believe in -- never the god of another religion -- suggesting that there's a [b]strong psychological component[/b] totally unrelated to the actual existence of a particular god[/quote]

meant to say, a strong cultural/social/psychological component[/quote]
